Pros

Consistent hours, mandatory OT, union represented

Cons

First, the job listing is Technical Support Representative, but when you get hired it magically changes to Repair Support Technician, that's incredibly misleading and also kind of unethical to bait and switch people like that.

Thank you for writing this review. Two primary responsibilities of the Technical Support Representative role are; provide solutions and resolution resources for customer repair problems, and to work with customers to identify service-related needs and provide appropriate solutions. We are sorry to learn you did not enjoy working here.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We value your input. We're disappointed to hear about your experience at Lumen. Unfortunately, at times, restructuring, reorganizations, or realignment to business realities is needed to drive our continued transformation and company growth. These decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Lumen understands the impacts these events have on our employees and provides support and guidance through the challenging transitions. Please reach out to us at CTLHRActionTeam@lumen.com if you would like to discuss anything further. We're glad you value our medical benefits and AI integration. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate your hard work!
